IMHO, If Hartleib gets his money back in a settlement, I don't think he cares what happens after that.

This is a point that I have been hitting a bit. He is looking out for his own interests. Though the crux of his argument holds water, I distrust his expressions of concern for the rest of us chickens.

Class Action Lawsuits are the suck. If Harleib can drum up a successful settlement for himself, more power to him. If the rest of us end up in a class, we'd get pennies. Whether you believe Harleib's accusations are true or not, if you are goind to sue then you need to sue as an individual as he is doing.

Perhaps the best idea, is for this site to spearhead the campaign for us to finance the company ourselves. A million shareholders at $500 each or 500,000 shareholders at $1000 each or whatever.

The publicity wouldn't hurt at this point. It might encourage stock purchases.
Like Mr. Smith goes to Washington.
